Architecture / Stanislav Gref / Symbols in Odessa architecture

And we have the first arch lecture        "Symbols in the architecture of Odessa"       with Stanislaw Gref (Stanislaw Kinka)        .       We will look for lions, griffins and sphinxes        .       Tell about the good and severe lions, symbols of guard and status, antique ⚱️, sea ⚓️ and others.       In Odessa, there are hundreds of houses whose facades are decorated with various signs. Somewhere you can find the ancient goddess of fertility Ceres, and somewhere dolphins , accompanying Neptune, hid. The roofs of some buildings are decorated with sphinxes, and the last remaining griffin lurks in the corner of old Odessa.       The symbol of Odessa houses is directly related to their functional purpose: exchanges, banks , buildings of credit societies  are equipped with powerful protective symbols, as well as an indispensable symbol - the image of the god of trade and the patron saint of merchants Mercury. Apartment buildings and private mansions are often decorated with protective symbols and signs indicating the fertility or occupation of the owner of the house.       .       Come ❤️        February 21, Thursday       ⏰ Beginning at 18:30 Frapolli 21 (Troitskaya St., 34)        Duration 1.5 hours        �Cost - 200 UAH       P.S.
